HealingMaps Take: The Kahala Clinic occupies a unique niche in Hawaii’s ketamine landscape. Dr. Robin Martin, DO, is a psychiatrist who offers both KAP and Spravato — making this one of the only practices in the state where patients can choose between the therapeutic depth of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and the insurance-friendly convenience of Spravato nasal spray. The addition of child and adolescent psychiatry services means the practice can serve entire families, which is rare among ketamine providers. The Kahala/Kaimuki location on Waialae Avenue places the clinic in one of Honolulu’s most established residential neighborhoods, and the UHA insurance listing suggests the practice is plugged into Hawaii’s local insurance ecosystem rather than operating as a cash-only boutique. For patients who want a psychiatrist — not just an infusion technician — guiding their ketamine treatment, The Kahala Clinic is the strongest option in Honolulu.

Market Position: The Kahala Clinic is a Spravato-certified clinic in the Honolulu metro. Spravato (esketamine) is the FDA-approved ketamine treatment that most commercial insurance plans cover after prior authorization — unlike cash-pay IV ketamine.

What to Expect at Your First The Kahala Clinic Appointment

2. Medical evaluation — in-person or telehealth psychiatric assessment, vitals check, and review of current medications with the The Kahala Clinic clinical team.
3. First treatment session — supervised Spravato (intranasal esketamine) in a private treatment room, lasting approximately 90 minutes (40-minute session + 60 minutes monitoring).

Patient Questions about The Kahala Clinic

This 5-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions The Kahala Clinic treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

What ketamine protocols does The Kahala Clinic offer?

The Kahala Clinic offers Spravato and KAP — a 2-protocol practice. Patients can switch between or combine modalities without changing providers. Confirm specific dosing schedules and which protocols are recommended for your condition during your consult.

Does The Kahala Clinic offer Spravato (esketamine)?

Yes — The Kahala Clinic offers Spravato, which means they’re FDA REMS-certified and maintain the required two-hour in-office monitoring window after each dose. Spravato is the primary insurance-covered ketamine option for treatment-resistant depression. Worth confirming the prior-authorization timeline before booking your first session.

Does The Kahala Clinic offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?

Yes — The Kahala Clinic offers KAP, which combines ketamine dosing with structured psychotherapy during the dissociative window. KAP sessions are longer than standalone infusions and priced accordingly. A reasonable consult question: whether KAP is delivered by a single integrated provider, or by a separate therapist working with the prescribing clinician.

Is The Kahala Clinic suited for treatment-resistant depression?

The Kahala Clinic treats depression via Spravato (FDA-approved for TRD), and KAP for trauma-anchored depression. The Spravato pathway is the most likely to obtain commercial insurance coverage. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.

Can The Kahala Clinic help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — The Kahala Clinic treats anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. The evidence base for ketamine in anxiety is less robust than for depression, but it can be a meaningful option for patients who haven’t responded to SSRIs or benzodiazepines. Worth asking which of their protocols they typically recommend for anxiety-primary patients.
